(Not resolved yet) Help needed for placing multiple layered objects on X axis

[obtuse briar]

what I'd suggest is instead of having that 606 hard coded, give each bar a set of variables with each "slot"

slot1X = 606;
slot1Inst = noone;

slot2X = 550;
slot2Inst = noone;

//when placing the weight on the bar
var bar = instance_place(x, y, obj_legpressbars);
if bar.slot1Inst == noone {
    slot1Inst = id;
    x = bar.slot1X;
}
else if bar.slot2Inst == noone {
    //repeat
}``` something like this

there's more efficient ways to do it with stuff like arrays and structs, but this lets you do it with simple code

You could also consider something like slot1X = x + something, so you don’t have to figure out the exact coordinates for every bar
